Lufkin man accused of watching porn in front of his children

LUFKIN, TX (Associated Press) - A 59-year-old Lufkin man living at a motel with his family is accused of having child pornography and watching it in front of his youngsters.

Phillip Charles Taylor was in the Angelina County Jail on Thursday facing five counts of possession of child pornography.

Bail was $250,000. Court-appointed attorney John Tunnell had no immediate comment. Detective David Cross says police became involved last week after a report to Child Protective Services that Taylor was viewing child pornography in front of his four youngsters.

A CPS caseworker and Cross on Tuesday stopped by the motel and informed Taylor of the child pornography complaint, which he denied. He was arrested and his computer was seized.
